Ecology of Eunice antennata

Main Ref.	de León-González, J.A. and V.D. Castañeda, 2006
Remarks	Found on Thalassia sp. beds (Ref. 83314) and is associated with the sabellariid, Phramatopoma caudata (Ref. 83317). Also among crevices of rocks, artificial substrata like harbor pilings, ropes, docks and tires, among algae, mussel beds, sandy mud and sand (Ref. 107190). Subsurface deposit feeder; feeds on detritus (Ref/ 83316).
